formed of intersecting blades. The dash rod 14 is detachably connectedto the shaft 9 as shown in Fig. 3. The lower end of the shaft isenlarged and provided with a square socket into which fits the uppersquared por tion of the dash rod 14, and a slot 16 is cut in one side ofthe lower end of the shaft 9 and a suitable slot 17 is formed in thesquared portion of the dasher rod 14. A pivoted angled locking key 18has one free end engaged by a spring 19 arranged between the key and theside of the shaft 9, and the other 16 and 17 and locks the dasher rod inplace. By compressing the spring 19 the key can be disengaged and thedasher rod and shaft 9 separated. After detaching the dasher rod andremoving the thumb nut 3 the cross-bar 2 and all parts carried by it canbe swung so as to bring the bar into a vertical position, thus renderingaccess to the churn 13 easy.

In operation downward and upward movement of the handle will oscillatethe gear segment 7, and impart rotation to the gear 8, shaft 9 and thedasher rod and dash, the

\direction of rotation being reversed with i To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC F. STRoUr, a citizen of the United States,residing at Novinger, in the county of Adair and State of Missouri, haveinvented a new and useful l Improvement in Churns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a churn.

The object of the invention is to keep the cream cool while in thechurn, and to make the work of churning as easy as possible byinterposing between the churn dasher and 1 the hand certain mechanicaldevices to be hereafter described. The invention consists of thecombination and arrangement of the various parts as hereafter set forth,pointed out in the claim, and shown in the accompanying drawings, inwhich, 1

Figure 1 is a side elevation, the churn be ing shown in section. Fig. 2is a top plan view. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view illustrating themanner of looking a rotatable shaft to the churn dasher. Fig. 4 is asection on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a transverse section on theline 5-5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is an enlarged side elevation showing aspring connected to a shaft and an operating lever.

In these drawings, 1 represents suitable uprights which are preferablyof metal, and to one of these uprights is hinged a cross-bar eachreversal'of the direction of movement of the handle 6. The coil spring11 will be wound upon the shaft with downward movement of the handle 6and movement, thus serving strokes.

lVhat I claim is The combination with a churn, uprights arrangedadjacent the churn, a cross-bar connecting said uprights and hinged toone of them, a triangular frame mounted on said cross-bar, a sleevecarried by a side of the apex portion of the frame, a shaft mountedtherein, a handle on the shaft, a spring on the shaft, the spring beingconnected to the shaft and to the frame, a segmental gear fixed on theshaft, a second shaft journaled in the cross-bar and apex of the frame,a gear fixed upon the second mentioned shaft and meshing with thesegmental gear, a dasher rod arranged in the churn, and means fordetachably connecting the dasher rod to the second mentioned shaft.

will aid in the up to equalize the means of a thumb nut 3 to the otherupright. The uprights support a tri-angular frame 4 provided at itsupper end with suitable bearings for a shaft 5 upon which is fixed anoperating handle 6. Also fixed upon the shaft is a crown gear segment 7which meshes with a gear 8, the last mentioned gear turning within theframe 4, and being fixed upon a shaft 9, journaled in the cross bar 2,and in the apex of the frame 4. To prevent interference between theshafts 5 and 9 the shaft 5 is mounted in a sleeve 10 projecting from oneside of the apex portion of the frame 4. A coil spring 11 encircles theshaft 5 and is secured at one end to the shaft 5 and at the other end toany suitable portion of the frame 4. Arranged within the upright frameformed by the uprights 1 and the cross-bar 2 is a can 12 within which issuspended a churn 13 into which extends a rotatable dash rod 14 carryinga dasher 15 Witnesses:
